Travel: August 2007 Archives

One of the tours we took said that that most of Boston's "cemetaries" are actually burying grounds. the difference being that multiple people are buried in the same grave, while cemetaries are one body per grave. I'm having trouble finding confirmation online though, so this might not be quite true. Regardless, they are called burying grounds in Boston.

The Stata Center at MIT was designed by Frank Gehry. It is really an odd-looking and interesting building.

One of these things is not like the others... A pigeon joins the bronze ducklings in the Boston Public Garden.

I already mentioned how our hotel room at the Hotel @ MIT had equations on the blanket. It also had this cool chair covered in retro atom and molecule-esque fabric.

Scooter chained to a lamppost in Cambridge, MA. It was raining that day, so I can't imagine why anyone would choose a scooter as their mode of transport unless they didn't mind getting damp.

I was very excited to stay at the Hotel @ MIT in Boston, mainly because they advertised that they had equations on the bedding. They were not lying. This blanket was lying across the bed when we arrived. It is so dorky. I love it.
